[1] A long needed feature of markata has been the ability to really configure out templates with configuration rather. Itโ€™s been long that you needed that if you really want to change the style, meta tags, or anything in the head you needed to write a plugin or eject out of the template and use your own. Adding some Head # [2] Now you can add some extra style to your site with the existing built-in template. [[markata.head]] text = """ <style> img { width: 100%; height: auto; } ul { display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; } </style> """ You can have more than one Head # [3] Each text entry in markata.head just gets appended raw into the head. [[markata.head]] text = """ <style> img { width: 100%; height: auto; } ul { display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; } </style> """ [[markata.head]] text = """ <script> console.log('hey there') </script """ Still need more? # [4] If this does not take you far enough yet, you can still eject out and use your own template pretty easy. If you are going for a full custom site itโ€™s likely that this will be the workflow for awhile. Markata should only get better and make this required less often as it matures.

Markata is a great python framework that allows you to go from markdown to a full website very quickly. You can get up and running with nothing more than Markdown. It is also built on a full plugin architecture, so if there is extra functionality that you want to add, you can create a plugin to make it behave like you want. Full transparancyโ€ฆ I built markata.

I got all the pypi packages that I own behind 2 factor authentication. ๐Ÿ’ช Recently this really made itโ€™s rounds in the python news since pypi was requiring critical package maintainers to have 2FA on and even offering them hardware tokens to help them turn this on. I feel like this caused a bit of confusion as turning on 2FA does not mean that you need to do anything different to deploy a package, and it DOES NOT require a hardware token. You can continue using your favorite 2FA app. You might wonder what this means for my projects. It means that to edit any sensitive content such as pull a new api token, add/remove maintainers, or deleting a release I need to use a TOPT (time based one time password) application such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy, or FreeOTP. This has very little change to my overall workflow as my CI system still automatically deploys for me with the same api token as before. This is one small thing that maintainers can do to prevent supply chain attacks on their projects that they put so much work into.

I was on Talk Python

After years of listening to talkpython.fm [1] I had the honor to be part of episode-337 [2] to talk about Kedro for maintainable data science. I was quite nervous to talk on a show that I helped shape my career in such a profound way. I started my journey towards software engineering near Michaels first few episodes. His discussions with such great developers over the years has made an huge impact on my skill. It has always given me great advice and topics to go deeper on. During the episode I tried my best to let Yetu and Ivan take the spotlight as the maintainer and chime in with my experience as a user of kedro.

I just love how some features of vim are so discoverable and memorable once you really start to grasp it. Sorting and uniqing your files or ranges is one of those examples for me. " sort the file :sort " sort the file only keeping unique lines :sort u " sort a range :'<,'> sort " sort a range only keeping unique lines :'<,'> sort u I recently used this to dedupe my autogenerated links section for rich-syntax-range-style [1]. More often I am using it to sort and uniqify objects like arrays and lists. Here is what the markdown looks like. * [py-tree-sitter](https://github.com/tree-sitter/py-tree-sitter) * [rich](https://github.com/Textualize/rich) * [@textualizeio](https://twitter.com/textualizeio) * [rich](https://github.com/Textualize/rich) * [another post](https://waylonwalker.com/designing-kedro-router) * [print-register-pipelines](https://screenshots.waylonwalker.com/print-register-pipelines.webp) * [rich](https://github.com/Textualize/rich) * [console-print-register-pipelines](https://screenshots.waylonwalker.com/console-print-register-pipelines.webp) * [rich](https://github.com/Textualize/rich) * [syntax-print-register-pipelines](https://screenshots.waylonwalker.com/syn...

How to vimgrep over hidden files. I needed to delete all build pipeline steps that were named upload docs. I currently have about 60 projects running from the same template all running very similar builds. In the past Iโ€™ve scripted out migrations for large changes like this, they involved writing a python script that would load the yaml file into a dictionary, find the corresponding steps make the change and write it back out. Todayโ€™s job was much simplar, just delete the step, were all steps are surrounded by newlines. My first thought was to just open all files in vim and run dap. I just needed to get these files:positions into my quickfix. My issue is that all the builds reside within hidden directories by convention. The issue # [1] variability After searching through all the projects it was clear that all the steps were in their own paragraph, though I was not 100% confident enough to completely automate it, and the word upload docs was in the paragraph. some were a two liner - name: upload docs script: aws s3 ... Some had a variation in the name - name: upload docs to s3 script: aws s3 ... some were more than 2 lines. - name: upload docs script: | aws s3 ... s...

[1] a sprinter edging out his opponent by Dall-e Itโ€™s about time to release Markata 0.3.0. Iโ€™ve had 8 pre-releases since the last release, but more importantly it has about 3 months of updates. Many of which are just cleaning up bad practices that were showing up as hot spots on my pyinstrument reports Markata started off partly as a python developer frustrated with using nodejs for everything, and a desire to learn how to make frameworks in pluggy. Little did I know how flexible pluggy would make it. It started out just as my blog generator, but has turned into quite a bit more. Over time this side project has grown some warts and some of them were now becoming a big enough issue it was time to cut them out. Letโ€™s compare # [2] I like to use my tils articles for examples and tests like this as there are enough articles for a good test, but they are pretty short and quick to render. mkdir ~/git/tils/tils cp ~/git/waylonwalker.com/pages/til/ ~/tils/tils -r cd ~/git/tils/tils running tils on 0.2.0 # [3] At the time of writing this is the current version of markata, so just make a new venv and run it. python3 -m venv .venv --prompt $(basename $PWD) pip install markata mark...

A common meta thing that I need in python is to find the version of a package. Most of the time I reach for package_name.__version__, but that does not always work. but not all projects have a __version__ # [1] In searching the internet for an answer nearly every one of them pointed me to __version__. This works for most projects, but is simply a convention, its not required. Not all projects implement a __version__, but most do. Iโ€™ve never seen it lie to me, but there is nothing stopping someone from shipping mismatched versions. If you maintain a project ship a __version__ # [2] I appreciate it While its not required its super handy and easy for anyone to remember off the top of their head.

This is not a game changer by any means, but I will now see one less error in my workflow. I just press q<Enter> and I am out, without error.
Itโ€™s no secret that I love automation, and lately my templating framework of choice has been copier. One hiccup I recently ran into was having spaces in my templated directory names.
